Currently only available on TFS 2017 or later and Visual Studio Team Services.

Navigate to your work item form customization page and add a multivalue control.

Edit the control so it can use the right field to store your selection and the right set of values to be displayed.

Be sure to allow user inputed values if a picklisk (string) field is used to back the extension.

We recommend TFS 2017 RC2 or later when running this extension.

Learn more about how to customize the multivalue control directly on XML.

The selected values are stored in a semicolon separated format. To search for items that have a specific value use the "Contains Words" operator. If searching for multiple values, use multipe "Contains Words" clauses for that field.

The source for this extension can be found on Github - feel free to take, fork and extend.
